- Does clearing the MIB counters outside the device loop cause issues with the
split MIB feature?
airoha_dev_get_hw_stats() modifies REG_FE_GDM_MIB_CFG to select the specific
nbq channel. Since REG_FE_GDM_MIB_CLEAR is called after the loop, does it only
clear the hardware counters for the last selected nbq? If so, the uncleared
counters for the other channels might accumulate in hardware, and adding them
repeatedly to the software stats (e.g., dev->stats.tx_ok_pkts += val) could
result in exponential growth.
Alternatively, if REG_FE_GDM_MIB_CLEAR globally clears all nbq counters for
the port, calling it here could drop packets that arrived for earlier devices
between their respective read operations and this clear.
- REG_FE_GDM_MIB_CLEAR is global and it clears all nbq counters for the port.
There's a tiny window where packets arriving for dev[0] between its read
and the global clear are lost, but that's microseconds of register reads,
so I guess that's negligible.

Lorenzo
